  • Campus mourns Tomonari Nishikawa, chair and professor of cinema

    Tomonari 鈥淭omo鈥 Nishikawa, 56, chair and professor of cinema, died Sunday, April 20.

    Nishikawa was born in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture in 1969. In 1999, he immigrated to the United States with the goal of becoming a filmmaker; he completed his bachelor鈥檚 degree with high honors in cinema and philosophy at SUNY Binghamton in 2003. He went on to earn his master鈥檚 of fine arts in film from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2006.

    His professional career at Binghamton began in September 2009, when he was hired as a visiting assistant professor in the Department of Cinema and was subsequently appointed to a tenure-track position; he was promoted to associate professor in 2018. In 2024, he was promoted to full professor. He served as chair of the Department of Cinema from 2020, investing his considerable energy and expertise in the formation of the department鈥檚 new Master of Fine Arts program and the successful recruitment of students to its first cohort. In recent years, he expanded the reach of the department, leading students on summer study abroad trips in Japan through his class, 鈥淛apanese Art Animation and Beyond.鈥

    Nishikawa leaves a legacy of experimental filmmaking, primarily concerned with the apparatus of film itself 鈥 its celluloid medium, its processes and its technologies of crafting and presenting visual information in a durational format. He worked in a range of forms, including short films, performative collaborative projections that fall within the genre of 鈥渆xpanded cinema鈥 and several music videos.

    Nishikawa completed nearly 20 films since 2003, which have screened at film festivals and museums internationally, including the Toronto International Film Festival, New York Film Festival, MoMA P.S.1, International Film Festival Rotterdam and many editions of Media City Film Festival. Read more about his most recent project, 鈥淐ut and Scratch,鈥 an avant-garde collaboration with 抖阴短视频 cinema alumnus Benjamin Stone 鈥12, at the link below.

    He received many accolades for his works, from the 2008 award from the Museum of Contemporary Cinema in Spain to the grand prize at the Curtocircu铆to International Film Festival and the 2017 Jury Award at Hong Kong International Film Festival and the Best Experimental Short Film Award at the 2024 Melbourne International Film Festival. Nishikawa was also a recipient of the Nippon Foundation Fellowship to research experimental film/video in Southeast Asia.

    Beyond his own filmmaking, Nishikawa was an active film curator, organizing many programs of Japanese art cinema for film festivals, colleges and other venues across the world, including the Ann Arbor Film Festival, Dresdner Schmalfilmtage in Germany, the Segal Center in Montreal, California Institute of the Arts and Colgate University. He was also a co-founder of KLEX: Kuala Lumpur Experimental Film and Video Festival and Transient Visions: Festival of the Moving Image (New York).

    鈥淭omo will forever be remembered as a significant proponent of Japanese and American avant-garde cinema, and as one of the greatest short filmmakers of his generation,鈥 said Oona Mosna, artistic director of Media City Film Festival in Canada. 鈥淎mong his voluminous accomplishments, Tomo鈥檚 unassuming kindness and generosity had far-reaching impacts, building community with people all over the world through his films and through his teaching and curatorial work in Japan, Malaysia, North America, and elsewhere.鈥

    Nishikawa leaves behind his wife and three children. A private funeral will be held for the family. The Cinema Department invites students and colleagues to share memories of Nishikawa on a 鈥済ratitude wall鈥 outside his office, CW B09.

    Plans for a remembrance and a memorial screening of his work are being made for early May. Details will be announced on Dateline when available.

  • 抖阴短视频 statement of support for international students

    抖阴短视频 remains deeply committed to the well-being and success of our international student community. In light of recent federal actions resulting in sudden visa revocations and changes to their legal status, our International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) office has taken swift and proactive measures to support affected students.

    ISSS continuously monitors the federal SEVIS system multiple times each day to identify any changes impacting student non-immigrant status, as no advance notice is currently provided by the federal government. Upon identification of a status change, ISSS immediately reaches out to the student with information about their visa termination, its implications and available resources. This includes individualized meetings and referrals to immigration legal counsel and the New York State Office of New Americans.

    We also notify relevant academic and administrative units across the University, as well as SUNY Global, which is coordinating support efforts across the SUNY system. Every case is handled on a highly personalized basis, considering each student鈥檚 unique circumstances. This includes exploring remote learning options where feasible, in coordination with academic departments.
    抖阴短视频 continues to look for guidance from the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), NAFSA: Association of International Educators and SUNY Global.

    As new information or support becomes available, it is shared promptly with affected students. We are also working with national higher education associations 鈥 such as the American Council on Education (ACE) and the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU) 鈥 to advocate for consistent and compassionate immigration policies at the federal level.

    Additionally, ISSS assists students in connecting with consular support from their home countries when such assistance is being offered.

    While we appreciate the community鈥檚 concern and interest, we note that ISSS staff are best suited in delivering guidance to international students. We caution against well-meaning but unofficial events that may inadvertently circulate incomplete or inaccurate information. ISSS and SUNY remain the most reliable sources of timely, accurate information for students navigating these complex issues.

    Our efforts are rooted in a deep respect for each international student鈥檚 situation, alongside our institutional responsibilities to comply with federal laws and regulations. We will continue to advocate for change, even as we work within existing constraints to provide the strongest possible support to those students affected.

  • Harpur Cinema presents: "Sarraounia"

    Harpur Cinema presents "Sarraounia" by Med Hondo (Burkina Faso, 1986, 122 minutes). The doors to both shows open at 7 p.m. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. Friday, April 25, and Sunday, April 27, in Lecture Hall 6. Single admission is $4.

    Hondo unflinchingly depicts the horrors of colonial occupation and conflict with a realistic, epic style to adapt Abdoulaye Mamani鈥檚 "Sarraounia," a historical novel about the West African Battle of Lougou. With an incisive eye toward the psychology of warfare, Hondo charts the brutal arrogance of French commanders Captain Paul Voulet and Lieutenant Julien Chanoine, as well as the fierce determination of Sarraounia, the titular Azna queen, a revered leader who inspires her people to fight the French army when most of the surrounding tribes have made deals with the invaders or joined their forces. Ready to meet her adversaries on the battlefield to defend her tribe and its way of life, native oral history claims she was a witch who could hurl fire at the invaders and any crops that were blazed to ash regrew overnight with more than enough food to keep the warriors going. Rarely screened today, "Sarraounia" remains one of the greatest experiments of historical surrealism to come from Africa.

In 1976, John Szarkowski, director of the Department of Photography at the Museum of Modern Art, hailed the arrival of a 鈥渘ew generation of color photographers鈥 who saw color as 鈥渆xistential,鈥 鈥渁s though the world itself existed in color.鈥 This 鈥渘ew generation鈥 included William Eggleston, Stephen Shore and Joel Meyerowitz, whose work here prompts a wider re-examination of color in 抖阴短视频 Art Museum鈥檚 photographs collection. Within this exhibition, which features works made between the mid-1970s and the early 2000s, a display of historical processes dating back to the mid-nineteenth century shows that color was an integral part of photographic expression from its very beginnings. What viewers are asked is whether Szarkowski鈥檚 notion of a decisive break holds up or whether the question of color and photography has to be seen from a much longer and broader historical perspective.

    In the Museum鈥檚 Lower Galleries, three small exhibitions will also open: "Chiura Obata: Japanese Art in America," curated by Yao Shen He 鈥27; "History and Myth: Violence in Early Modern Prints," curated by Leah Dascoli 鈥26; and "Japanese Design and the Arts and Crafts Movement in New York," curated by Joseph Leach, curator of collections and exhibitions.

  • Crosswalk safety reminder

    The 抖阴短视频 campus becomes very active during the day with both vehicle and pedestrian traffic, especially when classes are changing. Pedestrian and motorist safety is a shared responsibility. Not following the laws, either by the pedestrian or motorist, can be very dangerous 鈥 even deadly.

    New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law 搂 1151 governs the responsibilities of pedestrians and drivers as they relate to crosswalks.

    What does this law mean for pedestrians and drivers?

    When a pedestrian is already within the crosswalk, the motorist must yield or stop. A motorist does not have to stop if a person is merely approaching the crosswalk, or signaling an intention to enter it, but only if a person is already in the crosswalk as the car is approaching. The law also prohibits pedestrians from suddenly stepping off the curb in front of a vehicle and walking into the path of the vehicle.

    In both cases 鈥 the motorist failing to yield or the pedestrian stepping off the curb 鈥 police can issue a traffic ticket to the person violating the law. That includes the pedestrian who is also required to obey Vehicle and Traffic Law (VTL 搂1150).

    Whether you鈥檙e a pedestrian or a driver, know the law and abide by it. Drivers, be aware of driving conditions, especially on a crowded college campus. Pedestrians, use caution when crossing a roadway. Look both ways before crossing and don't be distracted by friends or the music in your earphones.

    Pedestrians generally have the right of way in a crosswalk, but that right of way is not absolute and is frequently misunderstood. By understanding and respecting the law, both as drivers and pedestrians, our campus roadways will be safe for everyone.

  • Accessibility study on campus

    抖阴短视频 Facilities Management is sponsoring an accessibility study to understand how accessibility can be increased throughout campus. This study is managed by D2D Design, operating with multiple teams to visit and evaluate accessibility for both the general campus exterior and the interior of 93 buildings. They will be going through the buildings looking at all public spaces that students, faculty or staff may need access to, like common areas, classrooms, labs, restrooms, offices, conference rooms and breakrooms.

    At the end of the study, the consultants will provide an in-depth report on all the reviewed campus spaces and a list of recommendations about improving accessibility. For this report, the consultants will be taking measurements and pictures while they examine different areas. These photos are for documentation purposes only, in order to produce an accurate list of recommendations. These photos will not be shared or published outside of the recommendation report for Facilities Management review.

    A notification will be sent in advance to the building administrator when their building is coming up for evaluation. Facilities will share a list of general spaces to be looked at, along with the preselected offices for review. This will allow the building administrator to share the notification with their constituents and provide feedback to Facilities Management about any potential problems with scheduled spaces. The office would like to set up a brief meeting with the building administrator or another representative on the first day of the evaluation to introduce the consultants, along with the Facilities Management staff member who will accompany them during the visit.

    More information about the physical accessibility on campus and how to report accessibility issues can be found at the site below.

  • School of Computing seminar today: "Resource selection in federated search"

    Join the School of Computing for a seminar titled "Resource selection in federated search" presented by doctoral student Ulugbek Ergashev, from noon to 1 p.m. Friday April 25, in EB T1 or via Zoom at the link below.

    In today鈥檚 digital landscape, users often face challenges in accessing relevant information scattered across multiple, disparate sources. Federated Search (also known as Distributed Information Retrieval, DIR) offers a promising solution by enabling the retrieval of integrated results from heterogeneous repositories without the need for centralized indexing. However, existing resource selection methods in Federated Search are limited in capturing the complex semantic relationships between queries and resources. This research proposes novel approaches to enhance resource selection by leveraging advanced representation learning techniques. The primary contributions include FedGNN, a framework that utilizes Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) combined with pre-trained language models to capture both semantic and structural relationships between queries and resources, and Resource2Box, a method that models resources as hyperrectangular boxes in a latent space, enabling a richer representation of resource diversity. These methods aim to improve the accuracy and efficiency of resource ranking by integrating both query-resource and resource-resource relationships. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed methods significantly outperform existing baseline models in various Federated Search tasks. This work contributes to the scalability and adaptability of Federated Search systems, making them more effective in dynamic and decentralized environments.

    Ulugbek Ergashev is a doctoral student in the School of Computing at 抖阴短视频. He earned his master's degree in computer science from 抖阴短视频 in 2019. His work addresses the limitations of traditional search systems by leveraging advanced representation learning techniques, such as Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) and box embeddings, to enhance resource ranking accuracy.

  • School of Computing lecture today: "Hardware/Software Approaches for Accelerating Graph Processing Workloads"

    Join the School of Computing for a faculty candidate presentation by Mahbod Afarin from 10:30-11:30 a.m. on Friday, April 25, in EB T1 or via Zoom at the link below titled "Hardware/Software Approaches for Accelerating Graph Processing Workloads."

    Analyzing large graphs has become an increasingly important computational workload, with graph analytics now widely applied across diverse domains. As a result, significant research has focused on developing frameworks that exploit parallelism across various hardware platforms, from single GPUs and multicore servers to large-scale clusters. This talk introduces a complementary approach that harnesses parallelism and systematically reduces redundancy to enhance scalability. Redundancy arises in computation, value propagation, graph traversal and data transfer across the memory hierarchy 鈥 all of which can be optimized to improve performance.

    In this talk, Afarin will present redundancy reduction techniques for evolving graph processing, including Common Graph, MEGA and Unchanged Vertex Values (UVVs). The Common Graph transforms costly edge deletions into cheaper edge additions by identifying a shared subgraph across all snapshots. This enables a single computation for the common structure, followed by lightweight incremental updates per snapshot, effectively breaking the sequential dependencies of traditional streaming approaches and unlocking new parallelism. MEGA is the first hardware accelerator designed for evolving graphs, building upon the Common Graph concept. It supports event-driven, incremental processing of edge additions and enables concurrent execution of multiple snapshots. To maximize reuse, researchers introduce Batch-Oriented Execution (BOE), a novel scheduling strategy that co-activates snapshots sharing common batch updates, enhancing both computation and memory reuse. UVVs leverage the insight that many vertex values remain unchanged across snapshots. Using an intersection-union analysis, they compute bounds on vertex values to skip redundant updates and concentrate only on vertices likely to change. This further minimizes redundancy and significantly boosts performance across snapshots.

    Afarin is a doctoral candidate at the University of California, Riverside. His research lies at the intersection of graph algorithms and computer architecture, focusing on the performance and scalability of graph applications. His papers have been published in MICRO, ASPLOS and EuroSys. He has received several awards and fellowships, including the UCR Dissertation Completion Fellowship and the Dean鈥檚 Distinguished Fellowship.

  • School of Computing lecture April 28: "Generalizable Machine Learning: From Algorithms to Applications"

    Join the School of Computing for a faculty candidate presentation by Song Wang at noon on Monday, April 28, in EB T1 or by Zoom at the link below.

    Machine learning has achieved success across a wide range of applications. However, a fundamental challenge remains: ensuring that models generalize effectively to new contexts, particularly when supervision (e.g., labeled data) is scarce or unavailable. In this talk, Wang will present research on advancing generalizable and trustworthy machine learning, with a focus on LLMs and socially beneficial applications. Wang will begin by discussing label-efficient generalization, introducing methods that enable adaptation to novel distributions with minimal supervision. Wang will then discuss reliable generalization, emphasizing robustness, fairness and interpretability in real-world AI systems; highlight generalization for scientific and socially impactful applications, including bioinformatics, neuroscience and finance; and finally, conclude with a vision for the future of building generalizable AI that is not only scalable and trustworthy, but also serves as a foundation for developing Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) that contributes to the well-being of society.

    Song Wang is a fifth-year ECE doctoral candidate at the University of Virginia. He previously received a bachelor's degree in EE from Tsinghua University in 2020. He develops reliable algorithms for machine learning models, including large language models (LLMs), to adapt to new tasks and contexts with robust performance, as well as their applications in socially impactful domains such as bioinformatics and neuroscience. His work has been featured as oral and spotlight presentations at top-tier conferences such as NeurIPS, ICLR, AAAI and SIGKDD, and he is a recipient of the PAKDD 2024 Best Paper Award.

  • School of Computing lecture: April 29

    Join the School of Computing for a faculty candidate presentation by Yicheng Zhang from 10:30-11:30 a.m. Tuesday, April 29, in EB G11 or by Zoom at the link below, titled "Security in Heterogeneous Systems: Exploring Vulnerabilities and Crafting Defense Strategies."

    To improve the performance and efficiency of modern computing systems, architects are increasingly adopting heterogeneous designs that tightly integrate specialized accelerators such as GPUs and FPGAs. These accelerators deliver substantial speedups for compute-intensive workloads, including machine learning and AR/VR applications. However, they fundamentally diverge from traditional CPU-based systems and introduce a new class of security risks. Unlike prior work that primarily focused on vulnerabilities such as Spectre and Meltdown in CPUs, heterogeneous systems expose new attack surfaces due to their architectural complexity and shared resource usage.
    In this talk, Zhang will present research to uncover and defend against security vulnerabilities in these heterogeneous platforms. Zhang will introduce a set of attacks targeting AR/VR devices, leveraging sensors and performance counters to recover sensitive user inputs, such as virtual keystrokes and even real-world context, including bystander presence. Then, I will describe an attack on the shared virtual state in multi-user AR systems, where a malicious user can poison or spoof shared holograms across devices, leading to misinformation or unintended interactions. To address this, Zhang presents a machine learning鈥揵ased defense that detects abnormal access patterns and enforces spatial consistency across users. These efforts lay the groundwork for securing future heterogeneous platforms across both edge and cloud environments.

    Yicheng Zhang is a fourth-year doctoral candidate at the University of California, Riverside. He received his master's degree from UC Irvine and his bachelor's degree from Sichuan University. His research interests lie in computer architecture and system security, with a focus on AR/VR security and microarchitectural security. His work has been recognized by top-tier conferences and journals, including multiple USENIX Security, IEEE S&P, IEEE DSN and IEEE TIFS.
